Mom-isms: Things Moms Say

Things Moms Say, A Poem For Mother's Day

No jumping on the couch!
Don't sit so close to the TV.
Who drew on the wall?
Well you're the only one who could have done it...
I have eyeballs on the back of my head.

Don't make me turn this car around...

No, you can't blow bubbles in the house.
You have until the count of three.
I am not buying you a puppy.
Or a pony.
Go ask your father.

Beds are not for jumping on!

Sit down and eat your dinner.
When you're a mom, you can do the grocery shopping.
What did you do at school today?
I don't believe you did nothing all day.
Your teachers let you do nothing?

Go wash your hands.

You can start cleaning anytime if you're bored
This room is a pig sty!
Why can't you put your clothes in the hamper?
Are your legs broken?
I am not the maid! This maid quits!

Close the door! You weren't born in a barn. I was there.

Where's your coat?
You can't go out there without a hat!
You are not wearing that out of the house.
You're going to step on a bee if you don't put on some shoes.
Come here, you have something on your face.

You'll poke your eye out.

What do you mean you don't know where it is?
You wouldn't see it if it jumped out and bit you!
If you put things where they belonged, you would know where they are.
Well, that's not what we do in our house
I don't care what your friends think

I brought you into this world, I can take you out of it.

Where did you hear that word?
I don't care who started it...
You should know better
I'll wash your mouth out with soap
I don't care if your Dad does say it. He's a grown-up.

You've got carrots growing in your ears.

Hurry up.
Christmas is coming.
You're slower than Molasses in January.
I'm leaving without you.
You kids grow up so fast.

You'll understand when you're older

It's my job to worry about you
Because I said so
I'll talk to you later
I love you.
Be Good.
